3 Brief Project Description (Limit 2,800 characters; approximately 400 words) Fish Hatchery Trail is part of the Battle Creek, Pig's Eye, and Indian Mounds Regional Park system. This project will reconstruct 1.56 miles of bituminous trail from pedestrian bridge #96093 on US 61/10 in Battle Creek Regional Park to pedestrian bridge #62084 over Warner Road. A portion of this reconstruction includes.5 mile of the Sam Morgan Regional Trail from Fish Hatchery Road to the pedestrian/bike bridge # This off-road trail was constructed in 1986 and provides a critical connection for users on the east side of St. Paul and eastern suburbs to St. Paul?s Grand Round, downtown St. Paul, the Union Depot, and destinations west. The regional park and trail facilities that this trail connects facilitated the following visits in 2014: Battle Creek Regional Park -674,000 visits; Indian Mounds Regional Park - 373,000 visits; and Sam Morgan Regional Trail- 443,000 visits. This trail provides the only barrierfree bike and pedestrian connection under US 61/10 between I-494 and I-94. The closest crossing of US 61/10 in St. Paul is 1.2 miles to the north at the signalized intersection with Burns Avenue where users must cross 8 lanes of traffic. AADT of US 61/10 in this location is 38,000 vehicles. The trail has had minimal improvements in the past 30 years and is sorely in need of replacement, especially the portion along US 61/10. Large lateral cracks have formed and half of the trail pavement width has sloughed off down the steep slope to the west. Temporary repairs have been made to make the trail passable, but a complete reconstruction is needed to mitigate poor subsoils and erosion from water run-off from US 61/10. Other areas of the trail have large potholes and undulations due to poor subsoils. The scope of work includes removal of the existing bituminous trail, soil remediation, stabilization, retaining walls, and erosion control along US 61/10, new bituminous trail, wayfinding, landscape restoration, and site amenities.

The closest crossing of US 61/10 in St. Paul is 1.2 miles to the north at the signalized intersection with Burns Avenue where users must cross 8 lanes of traffic. AADT of US 61/10 in this location is 38,000 vehicles. The Battle Creek-Highwood neighborhood directly to the east of US 61/10 is comprised of 60% people of color. There is also a direct connection to a Park and Ride for routes 351 and 365 at US 61 and Lower Afton Road. This trail provides a direct connection to Sam Morgan Regional Trail, which takes users to employment opportunities in downtown St. Paul or to make transit connections at the Union Depot. The response should address the benefits, impacts, and mitigation for the populations affected by the project.

Barrier crossing improvements (on or off the RBTN) can include crossings (over or under) of rivers or streams, railroad corridors, freeways, or multi-lane highways, or enhanced routes to circumvent the barrier by channeling bicyclists to existing safe crossings or grade separations. (For new barrier crossing projects, data about the nearest parallel crossing (as described above) must be included in the application to be considered for the full allotment of points under this criterion). Closes a transportation network gap and/or provides a facility that crosses or circumvents a physical barrier Yes Improves continuity and/or connections between jurisdictions (on or off the RBTN) (e.g., extending a specific bikeway facility treatment across jurisdictions to improve consistency and inherent bikeability) Improves Continuity and/or Connections Between Jurisdictions

12 Response (Limit 2,800 characters; approximately 400 words) The Fish Hatchery trail is a RBTN Tier 1 alignment and currently serves as the only barrier free bicycle and pedestrian crossing of US 61/10 (38,000 ADT) in St. Paul. US 61/10 is a four lane highway with a speed limit of 60 MPH and a large barrier for pedestrians and bicyclists moving between the eastern suburbs, the east side of St. Paul, and downtown St. Paul. The trail also connects Battle Creek, Pig's Eye, and Indian Mounds Regional Parks and the Sam Morgan Regional Trail (another RBTN Tier 1 alignment). The next closest crossing of US 61/10 (38,000 ADT) is an at-grade crossing of 8 lanes of traffic 1.2 miles to the north at the intersection of Burns Avenue where one (1) pedestrian crash was reported between No other crash data is reported for this segment since it is an off-road facility. The closest barrier free crossing is 3.25 miles to the south at Bailey Road. The Bailey Road trail crossing connects to the west side of the Mississippi River in this location and does not provide a direct connection to the above regional facilities in St. Paul. Currently a portion of the trail along US 61/10 has long lateral cracking and is sloughing off down a steep embankment. Temporary repairs have allowed the trail to remain open, but reconstruction is necessary to mitigate erosion from US 61/10 runoff. If permanent repairs are not made, closing the trail will have an adverse effect on bicycle and pedestrian transportation between the eastern suburbs, the east side of St. Paul, regional park facilities, and the downtown business district. Measure B: Project Improvements

13 Response (Limit 2,800 characters; approximately 400 words) There have not been any documented crashes involving bicycles and pedestrians within the project area because this is an off-road facility that provides a barrier free crossing of US 61/10 (38,000 ADT) in St. Paul. Should this trail be closed, users would be forced to cross 8 lanes of traffic at the Burns Avenue intersection, where one (1) reported pedestrian crash occurred between The existing trail provides the safest route for bicyclists and pedestrians between the east side of St. Paul, eastern suburbs, downtown St. Paul, and regional facilities of Battle Creek, Pig's Eye, and Indian Mounds Regional Parks and the Sam Morgan Regional Trail. It also provides direct access to a barrier free crossing over Warner Road to Indian Mounds Regional Park and the Grand Round. The next barrier free crossing is 3.25 miles to the south at Bailey Road. The Bailey Road trail crossing connects to the west side of the Mississippi River in this location and does not provide a direct connection to regional facilities in St. Paul. Measure A: Multimodal Elements Response (Limit 1,400 characters; approximately 200 words) This off-road trail provides a barrier free crossing of US 61/10 for bicyclists and pedestrians and connections to a park and ride facility at Lower Afton Road and Highway 61 with services on Routes 361 and 365 to Cottage Grove. It also provides a direct connection to a barrier free crossing of Warner Road at Indian Mounds Regional Park. If the trail were to be closed due to disrepair, it would greatly impact barrier free access for those living east of US 61/10 to downtown St. Paul. Transit Projects Not Requiring Construction

The trail was built as part of MnDOT's Trunk Highway 61 reconstruction in 1986 and a portion of this trail is within MnDNR property. A lease agreement for purposes of a recreational trail (# ) was entered between the MnDNR and the City. Maintenance of the trail across the MnDNR property is the responsibility of the City. The City has met with MnDNR staff to review the project. The MnDNR supports the City's application to the Regional Solicitation for reconstruction funding of the trail.

Your application for the Fish Hatchery Trail reconstruction project impacts MnDOT right of way on US 61. MnDOT, as the agency with jurisdiction over US 61, would allow the trail reconstruction project as the trail was originally built as part of a previous MnDOT road reconstruction project. Details of an existing maintenance agreement with the City provides for maintenance for the project s useful life, and continued maintenance of this pedestrian and bike amenity impacting MnDOT right of way, would likely be owned and maintained by the local agency. This project currently has no funding from MnDOT. In addition, the Metro District currently has no discretionary funding in year 2020 of the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) or year 2021 of the Capital Highway Investment Plan (CHIP) to assist with construction or assist with MnDOT services such as the design or construction engineering of the project. Please continue to work with MnDOT Area staff to assist in identifying additional project funding. Sincerely, Scott McBride, P.E.
